Comments Thread For: Mayweather Explains Why 'He Can't' Give Pacquiao 50-50

[lacson]

Don't you know?

Floyd makes more money than Bill Gates.

Cotto isn't getting a cent, Floyd is so smart he keeps it all.

Even the kids running the hotdog stand are doing it for free, Floyd gets all the money.

Why do you think they call him money?

You think he just gave himself that name or something ?

I wonder how far Mayweather went to school. It seems like he has no concept of basic math. He's actually talking of keeping 100% of revenues. I know I heard this from him before but I thought he was just talking crap.

The stuff that comes from him are just total nonsense. I'm surprised anybody takes this guy seriously. I guess there's a reason why he does things and that's the same type of reasons why he's going to jail. There is something seriously wrong with him mentally, he has lost his sense of reality.

I agree split shouldn't be an issue now.

On December 17,2011 manny said he would accept less than 50/50 to make the fight. On March 1, 2012 floyd said he wpouldn't give manny 50/50. Is this correct?

So how is floyd making 50/50 an issue if manny already agreed to not take 50/50?

Can u show me where manny says he agreed on may 5th and he'll take less?

First of all Pacquiao doesn't make offers, he has a boss. Floyd doesn't.

40 Million Dollars is a lot of money and Manny shouldn't worry about percentages, what Floyd makes has nothing to do with him, take the offer or don't. All I know is he ain't getting 40 million for fighting Timmy Bradley.

Is this a joke? Why would the bigger draw take less money for this fight? There is simply no rational reason for mayweather to demand more than 50 percent, other than to price himself out of this fight. The only way to interpret mayweather's comments are that he is making so much money fighting lesser fighters and dictating the terms that he won't take a higher risk fight (pacquiao) unless he gts the lion's share of the money. He knows that isn't goingto happen, so he's saying the fight won't happen. Arum is essentially taking the same approach. The big issue is that both mayweather and pacquiao can make so much money fighting lesser fighters with a limited chance of losing that they see no reason to take a high risk fight even if they could make more money. Neither really wants the fight.

Your userID would make an assumption your Indian. You probably don't speak enough english to understand between the lines.

Ok, we get a person's worth value. Both these dudes will get more than they EVER made. Yes, the variable does not make it ok for one to decrease value over another but in this case both have shown they are pretty much equal in what they can and will bring to the table.

YOUR WORDS state as though Mayweather is putting all his money into the promotion ALONE. That is a false. Pac is "PAYING" for his promotion. If your a business man, you know "revenue" is what is net after everything is all said and done. So what is the "revenue"/net Mayweather is retrieving after all is said and done? I bet it isn't far from Pac's?

We don't know all the details of the business side so that's where we as fans should STFU.

We pay for the fights so we should have a right to demand fights. That's why a lot of boxing fans are crying boycott.

So some of the "shat" you said is understandable....and others are just "shat".

BTW, your examples can easily go the other way. Where in business sense does it show Mayweather should get 100% of the PPV revenue? Your eating bull****

Your userID would make an assumption your Indian. You probably don't speak enough english to understand between the lines.

OKAY, FIRST LEMME SCHOOL YOUR ASS. I SPEAK X3 LANGUAGE... FLUENTLY.

ENGLISH, HEBREW, AND SPANISH....

THE NAME YOU SEE ABOVE IS A DIFFERENT DIALECT OF THE HEBREW "QODESH BEN YHWH"

HOLY SON OF YHWH (GOD)

QODESH/QADASH=HOLY

BEN/BAN= SON

YAH/YHWH = THE HEBREW CREATOR. AND I AINT NO DAMN ***...

Now for the simple ass whoopin you about to get .....

PEEP GAME...

YOU STATED:

LMAO BULLSH@T!!! How they equal when you cant deny one fights less than the other yet you are claiming they are equal. Lets say this. If you swim you know its all about timing especially in competition. Whomever has the best time wins. If it takes Pacquiao fighting multiple times a year to floyd fighting once a year, please explain how they are equal??? It takes one fighting x2 a year to try and accomplish what it takes another once a year and even then your silly ass lie and states its about even.... If they were even ******, Pac would be earning and making what Floyd makes x2 over!!! if he fights twice he would make x2 as much as Floyd as floyd fights once. But that isnt the case ****** lol. You guys kill me.

LMAO!!! DUDE ARE YOU SERIOUS??? I never once stated Mayweather was putting all his money into the promotion, but I can give you a link that he has used up to 10 miilion to promote and he receives money from souvenirs, concessions, papyerview, and the gate. This is the deal he has structured with SCHAEFER AND DELAHOYA.
http://www.mlive.com/mayweather/inde...chaefer_p.html

For a fighter who makes "$40 million, $50 million a fight," Schaefer said, the ability to accurately predict Mayweather's pay -- which includes percentages of profits from domestic and foreign pay-per-view, closed-circuit, delayed television rights, live gate, sponsorship, merchandising and program sales -- fosters confidence in their relationship.

YOU STATED:[/B]

We don't know all the details of the business side so that's where we as fans should STFU.

Floyd and schaefer have put enough out there to get you the basics dumb dumb...

YOU STATED:

Oh I hear you saying boycott, but I hear you saying boycott only x1 side.... You probably stream anyway broke ass junk yard dog lookin as fool!!


You posted nothing but what ifs and maybes, and now you have a link f@ggot...

How is it that I dont kno what the fuccccccc Im talking about, yet Floyd comes out days later and breaks down the same goddamn thing I have been saying all last week.... Because I know numbers and I know my shat...

[Fetta]

Can u show me where manny says he agreed on may 5th and he'll take less?

the take less than 50/50 was in an interview after the JMM debacle but in the ring before Arum was by his side he did say "May 5th we can do it"

Thats all but ill stay out of your debate

[The Big Dunn]

Can u show me where manny says he agreed on may 5th and he'll take less?

I don't understand. I showed you when manny said he'd take less than 50/50. Now when floyd called him with the $40 mil and manny sayd go **** yourself I'm cool with that. Thats too low. But then when floyd says no 50/50 it shouldn't be a big deal becuase manny has already said he'd take less.

I don't know if manny said anything different regarding may 5th.

[PACsmash]

When PAC said he'll take less him and bob have their own date in mind. Floyd comes out of nowhere and demand may 5th or no fight. U expect manny to agree to that? U seriously on floyds nutts this bad?? this is Floyd's way of trying to be the boss. Floyd can be his own boss but who is he to be tellin people what to do??

So how is floyd making 50/50 an issue if manny already agreed to not take 50/50?

In the first go around that broke down when floyd demanded OST, the split was 50/50. After pacquiao caved on OST, floyd demands 100 percent of revenue. That sounds like somebody is looking for an excuse not to fight. Don't get me wrong. arum is studiously avoiding this fight too. But let's not pretend that floyd isn't doing the same thing.

[hugh grant]

Hes quite eccentric isnt he? Did his dad dangling Floyd in front of a man with a gun create this?

Doesnt Pac have to be happy then? You made him unhappy by asking him to take OSDT and now you want to make him even unhappier by robbing his piggy bank.

The only fight were seeing now is the one in court. Lets make predictions on who will win that fight.

In the ring after HE LOST to JMM he said "May 5th we can do it" this was before Arum was by his side and after Arum was by his side he didint say anyhting but its up to my promoter and i wont choose who i fight next.
